Described is a unit for feeding a rising flow of cut tobacco of a twin-rod cigarette making machine comprising a channel (4) for feeding the flow (2), which is delimited by two major walls (5, 6), facing each other and substantially vertical; the channel (4) has in turn a lower cross-section (7) for the tobacco infeed, an upper cross-section (8) for the tobacco outfeed, at which two suction belts (9) for transporting the tobacco are positioned, separated from each other by a baffle (10), and an intermediate cross-section (12), through which the tobacco is conveyed with a substantially uniform distribution; the walls (5, 6) of the channel (4) converge on each other, from the intermediate cross-section (12) to the upper cross-section (8) and form deflector elements (13) of the flow (2) towards the belts (9). |
